13 Sierra Club Virginia Chapter The Sierra Club is the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the country, with more than 3.8 million members and supporters. Our successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. More recently, we’ve made history by leading the charge to move away from the dirty fossil fuels that cause climate disruption and toward a clean energy economy.

The Virginia Chapter represents over 20,000 members and twelve local groups across the Commonwealth, supporting a network over 100,000 strong. We welcome every Virginian to join the grassroots movement for climate solutions. Together, we can build healthy communities, connect with nature and ensure future generations can thrive.
